Katherine Lee Hits NY #11 All-Time For The 3000m


Long Island, NY - The hits keep on coming for Junior Katherine Lee (Shoreham-Wading River).  After qualifying for the Millrose Games earlier this year, she has added another accolade to her name.  At the Art Mitchell Invite at Suffolk Community College, she clocked 9:37.77 for the 3000m.  She is now the third fastest Long Islander over 3000m ever, making her NY #11 All-Time.  The mark is also a Suffolk County Record, and US #2 this year, only behind the National Record set by Kate Murphy (Lake Braddock, VA).  This would make her the State Leader in the event, in one of the toughest years ever.

Lee won the Federation meet this fall for XC, in addition to making Nike Cross Nationals.  She is also the only girls to break onto the Sunken Meadow All-Time list in the past half decade.  She certainly has the credentials to keep getting faster, with much of the season left to go.
